Meet Our Team

Maya

Hi, I’m Maya. 👋 I’ve faced depression and still manage anxiety, so I know how hard it can be. 💙 Along the way, I’ve learned from my own experiences, NHS staff, psychologists, and my university years — all to find ways to heal and feel better.

That’s why I created Ease Your Anxiety: a place to share helpful advice, stories, and creative tools to support your mental health journey.

I’m also the author of Happy: Emotional Colouring, a book designed to bring joy and relaxation through creativity and colours. 🎨

I hope this space feels kind and supportive — a place where you feel understood and inspired. Thanks for being here. We’re in this together.

Hema

My name is Hema Kusk (Žiedūnė). Currently, I am the director of an architectural design company, and I have a great passion for the arts, including painting, photography, poetry, and writing short essays.

I am also keenly interested in art therapy. My sister has disabilities, which inspired me to research ways to help her and others with similar challenges. I discovered that art and art therapy can significantly aid in managing complex disabilities.

In 2014, I opened an art studio in Lithuania called “Art Room,” 🎨🖌️ which also functioned as an art gallery to help disabled individuals sell their artwork. It collaborated with various organizations on social integration projects. I also spoke on radio and was featured in “Kaunas Day newspaper.”

Later, I worked at Kaunas Technology University with international students, helping them use art for stress relief. After moving to the UK in 2017, I joined the Peterborough Society of Arts and participated in exhibitions.

Now, as a mother, I’ve reduced my activities but continue to create through writing and painting.💖

Dovilė

Hi, I’m Dovilė — one of the faces behind Ease Your Anxiety. From a young age, I felt a strong empathy for others, which led me to study psychology and mental health support. 💛✨

My goal is to help people navigate tough emotions and challenges with practical, kind advice. Here at Ease Your Anxiety, I share what I’ve learned to empower you on your mental health journey. 🌱💪

I hope this space feels safe and supportive for everyone looking for understanding and encouragement. 🤗💫
